stripes

[chance]

are there any illnesses that could give a bicolor blenny stripes

Are the stipes always there, or just sometimes? the reason im askeing is because sometimes my bicolor changes pattern/color when it gets scared.

Can you describe exactly what you're seeing? Are the stripes bilateral (on both sides)? Any discoloration of the fish?

I'm inclined to agree with fedukeford. Sounds like a stress reaction. A lot of species of fish exhibit this when upset.

white lines on the body and corner of mouth come and go on bi-color blennies. Normal so far.

also if the lighting is not strong enough in some spots you will see strips.

Why in the world did your remove this fish from the QT? You have now exposed your entire tank to whatever he may be carrying. That was a VERY bad idea. I hope the qt that you have can support all of your fish. If not, you may want to get a large enough one set up and cycled. I am not saying you wil definately have to pull your fish, but the possibility is very strong.

No, he clearly had him in qt for a few days then decided to move him into the "tank"
